I always start CS:GO in windowed mode to multitask between rounds. Adding -windowed to my launch options was a game-changer. Makes browsing and gaming seamless.

tbh why even play in windowed mode? fullscreen is the way to go for the best experience.

Getting CS:GO to start in windowed mode is super easy! Just right-click on CS:GO in your Steam library, go to 'Properties,' then click 'Set Launch Options.' In the box that pops up, type in -windowed or -sw (stands for windowed as well), and hit OK. Next time you launch the game, it'll be in windowed mode. You can also add -w <width> -h <height> to specify the window size, like -w 1280 -h 720 for 720p.
